Yes, I have one 4.2 Apollo site within local calling range. I wouldn't mind
having another.

Now's as good a time as any to bring everybody up to date. Here's the current
beta list.

Here's what the status codes mean:
	-	Site volunteered, but no poll to snark is set up yet
	Nx	Site is waiting on release level x (not queued for uucp yet)
	Wx	Site is waiting on release level x (it's queued for uucp)
	Gx	Site has received release level x sources

I have received bug reports from amdahl, vader and wisner -- all minor stuff.
I am preparing a 'Level 1' patch set for distribution early next week.

More test sites, especially machines with weird architectures or outre/archaic
UNIX variants, will be cheerfully accepted.
